I am excited to announce the launch of our newest product, a liquid vitamin D supplement that's perfect for the whole family to take, ages 4 and up. It tastes really good with a great natural berry flavor. I took some home for my kids to try and they loved it! It has 1000 IU of vitamin D3 in the recommended dosage of only 2 teaspoons for adults or 500 IU in one teaspoon for ages 4 to 12. Read more
Why take vitamin D supplements?
Recent scientific studies report that as much as 50% of the US population is unknowingly deficient in vitamin D. Most people don't regularly eat enough vitamin D rich foods (salmon, sardines) or drink enough milk to satisfy the recommended daily allowance. You would have to drink 10 glasses of milk to get 1000 IU of vitamin D or take cod liver oil.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is converted into its active hormone form in our body. New research shows vitamin D provides an array of health benefits. For example, it supports a healthy immune system and help maintain bone and teeth health among many others. Vitamin D helps promote calcium absorption and helps our body maintain adequate blood concentrations of calcium and phosphate which are used to mineralize bone.
Vitamin D supplements are important for those who have darker skin, spend a lot of time indoors or live in a northern climate (I work in a cubicle and I live in the Northwest), or even if you go outside a lot but wear sunscreen. D3 is the preferable form as it is the kind made by the body when exposed to sunlight.
You will be able to purchase this product nationwide at Walgreens locations and soon at your local drugstore and online. You can even get a $2 off in-store coupon now!
Winter is the perfect time to start taking vitamin D. Also make sure your family is taking it as well, especially during the cold and flu season.
A great resource is a book called "The Vitamin D Cure" by James, E. Dowd, M.D. and Diane Stafford. See www.thevitamindcure.com
